I feel that our job as a musician/singer just performer in general is to spur emotions. Be it good emotions or bad you should spur some kind of emotion. We need to remember that music is an art form. A painting that doesnt' spur emotion is just wallpaper. Music that doesn't spur emotion is just racket. I have played venues where people have loved me and I have played venues where people hated me. Love and Hate that is basic emotion so I did my job. I failed to do my job though where people didn't pay any attention and ignored me. If you all disagree with me please let me know. I just feel that with music, notes are the paint on the pallet but emotion is the brush. I would love to hear someone elses view of this.
